Aoka: A Sweet Journey from Hokkaido to Tokyo

Aoka, the delightful confectionery brand from Hokkaido, is making its first appearance in Tokyo at the Daimaru store. This highly anticipated event will take place from November 26 to December 2, 2025, and promises to be a must-visit for dessert lovers. Aoka, which means ‘we’ or ‘you’ in the Ainu language, draws inspiration from the stunning landscapes and natural materials of Hokkaido.

Aoka's Charming Origins

Founded with a mission to create exquisite sweets, Aoka embodies the spirit of connection and beauty, reflecting the significant bonds shared among family, friends, and loved ones. The brand aims to capture these relationships into edible art, transforming them into delightful experiences. Its debut in November last year at Daimaru Sapporo was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, where long queues formed daily, and products sold out by evening.

Following this success, Aoka launched its official online store in September, showcasing its innovative product, the Caramel Baumkuchen. Remarkably, this new offering sold out in just three days, raising curiosity and attention towards the brand's future endeavors.

Commitment to Quality Ingredients

Aoka takes pride in using only carefully selected ingredients sourced from Hokkaido. Their flagship product, the Caramel Chocolate Sand, features a 10mm thick layer of milk chocolate sandwiched between caramel-flavored langue de chat cookies. The combination of the rich and buttery flavors of caramel and chocolate creates a unique taste experience that is both profound and satisfying.

In addition to the Caramel Chocolate Sand, Aoka offers a variety of products including the Raisin Butter Sand and the Caramel Langues De Chat presented in beautifully designed cans. These products not only ensure a delightful indulgence but also maintain a shelf life of over 40 days without refrigeration, making them perfect for gifting.
